I really enjoyed working with Louie's Mobile MIxology. They made the process so easy. It was nice having a shopping list and knowing how much I should buy based on the head count. I also loved the creativeness of serving a sangria along with our beer and wine. All communication was in a timely manner and I appreciate the quick responses. I would use their services again in a heart beat and plan to recommend to friends.

Lou was so great to work with from start to finish! He was extremely professional, responsive, and friendly. He helped us decide on our signature drinks, provided a customized shopping list for our reception, and offers the option to provide mixers and some other items which we took advantage of! And of course on the day of the service was great. Cannot recommend Lou highly enough.

I can't thank Louie and his team enough in helping us through the whole process! They were responsive and helpful in guiding us on what to stock up on and our bartenders were very friendly and professional. I was definitely anxious here and there during the whole wedding planning process but the one thing I was never worried about was the bar service. I seriously can't recommend them enough!

Louie and his team are wonderful! They are super responsive to emails with all of your questions! Which all brides know is a big plus when you have a lot of anxiety about planning.
We had Lou go into the Grooms Quarters to serve the guys as they got ready on the wedding day. He kept them from getting too crazy before the ceremony!
And his team that served during the wedding were wonderful! Everyone loved the drinks and they were super friendly.
This team, overall, was so wonderful. And I can’t recommend them enough!

Louie's team was incredible! They came highly recommended and did not disappoint. We had 160 people at our wedding. The team used a single bar and I don't think there was ever a time the line was any longer than a few people. They were very efficient and the drinks were tasty. We had a signature drink (margaritas) and they offer guests a drink list to help them make decisions. By pre-making some of the more common drinks they can keep people focused and moving along.
There are a couple of things Lou provides that are a huge benefit if you are having an event at a farm or other external structure:
- They provide ice
- They have industrial coolers. They needed very little time to be able to get our champagne, beer, & white wine cold
- They provide the garnishes, napkins, cups, etc. as a service per head. This is a HUGE deal when you realize that buying all these things individually is quite difficult to pin down numbers wise.
The team was super professional and our guests thought the service was fantastic. I would highly recommend this vendor.

Amazing from start to finish. Lou made us signature drinks, where all I said was I wanted my drink to be blue. Weeks later my friends are still talking about how good the drinks were.
Wouldn't hire anyone else to do bartending!

Louie’s Mobile Mixology was a delight to work with from start to finish. Lou made the process a seamless and provided a shopping list for us for the alcohol and provided us with a shopping list and helped us create our signature drink for the evening (which everyone enjoyed!). They were on time for our reception and by far one of the easiest vendors to work with for our wedding. Lou and his staff were personable and kind through booking to serving to cleaning up after the reception. Thank you again!

Lou and his team are truly amazing to work with! They were so responsive to all of our questions. They gave us perfect estimates for how much alcohol to buy, leaving us with very little leftover at the end of the night. They also brought a phone charging station with them for guests to use, which was a really cool addition. Their prices were affordable and fair for the excellent services they provided. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great bartending service.

The wedding was still months away, but our daughter-in-law-to-be was anxious to get the critical elements of the wedding nailed down and given that this was going to be a Ukrainian-Irish wedding, the bartending service was a critical element.
Months ahead of the ceremony, Louie invited us to his impressively stocked office/bar for an initial meeting. During this meeting, it became clear to all of us that we were dealing with a pro. In short order, Louie was able to tease out all the details that he needed. Had it been left up to us wedding amateurs, we would have overlooked a number of essential elements. Not only did Louie help us identify our needs, but he also helped us to stretch our budget because he made recommendations as to what distributors offered the best deals when it came to purchasing the alcohol (per the contract, Louie provided the manpower and mixers, we purchased the alcohol). We all walked away from the meeting immensely impressed and the bride-to-be was able to cross that item off her list because we didn’t need to talk to anyone else. Louie was our guy.
A few days after the meeting Louie sent us an easy to understand, comprehensive contract, and Louie promised to give us a recommended purchase list once our final numbers were in. Sure enough, no sooner did we furnish Louie with our final numbers than he furnished us with his purchase list. Had we blindly abided by Louie’s list, everything would have probably worked out perfectly, but erring on the side of safety, we bought extra. Fortunately, as Louis promised, so long as the liquor had not been refrigerated, the vendor would accept the excess as returns, and that is exactly what happened.
In between the purchases and the returns, there was a small matter of the wedding. Quite honestly, it could not have gone any better. Louie’s team was on time and on target. He and his employees were the epitome of professionalism. Their service was timely, cordial, and sanitary. They were a real crowd pleaser. I guess you could say the attendees found Louie’s team intoxicating.
If we come across anyone that is in the market for a mixologist, Louie will get our ringing endorsement. We are so pleased that Louis and his team were available to help us celebrate a very special day. Book him now if you have the opportunity!

Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day! We loved getting to work with you to bring our dream to life. We appreciate your help in creating unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. I never knew how nervous I would be but you made it seamless and effortless as I saw our vision come true.thank you again for the words of luck in the grooms get ready room. definitely needed that lol.The bar /drinks looked and tasted absolutely wonderful, and the placement of the drinks behind you and the charging station was perfect. This was the best day I ever had and loved it because it was made with care and to our specs we wanted, pictures of the joy on our guest faces from the drinks don't give it full justice to the quality of the hard work you did your team did and even the small details you all went into helping our day. And all our guests loved it , I really saw how you cared and took your time in making sure it was perfect. You made sure nothing got in your way to ensure our day would be A successful one. Thank you again for your time and efforts. I would highly recommend

Louie and his folks served beverages at our wedding on 3/27/21.
The process to book them was easy, and not stressful in the least. After determining we would use them as our servers, Louie sent us the contract for review and was helpful in answering any and all questions pertaining to it.
Then came the shopping list of what we would need to buy for our wedding. Louie bases this on a fixed average per number of attendees. He was easily able to let us know how much wine, beer, and liquor to buy for the event just based on our numbers. It wasn't nearly as much as we thought we'd have to buy, and the cost wasn't bad to get all that squared away. As to the cost for them providing services, all I can say is super affordable rates. It really wasn't bad at all cost wise.
Louie and his crew provided everything else from the traveling bar itself to all cups, ice, mixers, and more. They set-up early and were more than ready for the start of the ceremony. They even helped the Groomsmen and I pregame a little with some of his most recommended cocktails - Moscow Mules. I had never had them before, but everyone said they were delicious!
They were respectful to our guests, they never missed a beat and there were never any real wait times on drinks.
I would definitely recommend them again, and if we have any large scale events in the future, we are definitely looking their way!

He helped develop our signature drinks, and he was in contact with us throughout the pandemic to keep us informed of his new safety measures.

Louie's Mobile Mixology is the best in town! He is professional and kind. He works with you on creating a special drink for your wedding and also provides a shopping list so you know exactly what to buy. We purchased the entire package which was one of the best decisions we made. It took the pressure off of us on remembering what to bring and how. You definitely won't regret booking them for your wedding or event!

We absolutely loved Lou and his bartending staff. They were so professional, friendly and easy to work with. They had many bar options, including the option of stocking the bar yourself if you are looking to save money. Since we ended up providing the alcohol, Lou put together a suggestion list of what to get for however many people attending your wedding and it worked out perfectly! Not to mention they included a spiked hot apple cider that was perfect for a fall wedding!

I especially found the shopping list so helpful. Lou broke down every last detail we needed to make sure everything went smoothly on the big day.
I highly recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a professional bar tending service for any type of event!
Thank you again!!

We had a great experience with Lou's Mobile Mixology. Lou met us for an in-person consultation soon after we booked him in his home bar and was really flexible with his schedule. Not only was he professional, but he was also super personable. We went over our expectations and he made helpful suggestions about our menu -- it really put us at ease. A few weeks later, he sent us a shopping list that was pretty much spot on (we over bought but honestly should have just stuck to the list). Lou was responsive over email in helping me develop signature cocktails and make minor menu tweaks.
On the day of, we had one location for our cocktail hour and another for the dinner and the transition between the two was seamless. We had only one bar operating at a time for our 155 guests, but there was never much of a line, so the bartenders were quite efficient. We definitely recommend booking Lou!

Lou was awesome to work with. He gave good advice and detail on what we needed to provide for a great party and they did an awesome job the night of the wedding. We ended up needing them for a little extra time and he was great about making that happen and working around our schedule. They provided all the mixers and made sure everyone had what they wanted. The bar looked awesome and they did a wonderful job making the night flow smoothly behind the bar. Couldn't have asked for anything more! Worth the hire and would hire again in a heartbeat!

It was a pleasure getting to know Lou and his team during our two day wedding event! They were a joy to work with and provided exceptional service on both days. All of the staff were professional, experienced, and friendly. Lou was great at answering all of my questions during our initial planning discussion and I felt at ease knowing they would handle all things drink related. Our family and friends loved chatting with the team as they ensured everyone had a great time! I would recommend Lou and his team to anyone in need of a bartending service.

We highly recommend Louie’s Mobile Mixology! From the first time we met for a private tasting, where ALL our questions and requests were attended to, to follow up emails with prompt responses, to working within our budget while still ensuring our guests had an amazing time. We were very pleased with the service of Louie and his staff at the wedding and continue to get guests complimenting their work. Their shopping list was easy to follow and we had MORE than enough alcohol left over despite a party of heavy drinkers :). The drinks were AMAZING, handcrafted, just like the tasting. The decor and extra touch details (like the charging stations), coffee station, and their beautiful pallet bar, helped make my rustic wedding a dream come true! We will definitely be using them for our future events and will recommend them to anyone in need of bartending that comes with phenomenal service.

We had a phenomenal experience with Lou and his team! We recently had a commitment ceremony at Rock Hill Plantation House, and opted to go with a food truck for dinner. Because of that, we needed a bartender, as well as staff to bring food and trays back and forth from the pizza truck, cut the cake, clear plates, etc. Lou and three assistants came to provide service for our ceremony - I cannot say enough good things about Lou and his team!
They were there a couple hours early to get everything set up, and did a fantastic job throughout. We served wine and beer and had a signature cocktail (which was a beautiful ombre that matched our wedding colors, and earned rave reviews from our guests on taste). His staff did an excellent job cutting and serving the cake as well. His staff were friendly when we spoke with them, but were entirely unobtrusive throughout the evening (and I mean in the best possibly sense) - and yet the plates were always cleared, and everything was kept running smoothly. The cost was extremely reasonable! A+ experience!

I had so many guests come up to me and inform me of how friendly the bartenders were. Between pictures, friends and family- I was being pulled around non stop.. I was so surprised when Louie's staff kept greeting me with a fresh drink whenever I needed it. I recommend their services for any event.

We found Lou through a friends wedding. I contacted Lou and he responded right away. My husband and I met with Lou and he went over all the details of what he provided. He helped us come up with a menu and helped us figure out how much of everything we would need. The whole process was very smooth. The day of our wedding they showed up and set up very quickly. They did an amazing job serving everyone and keeping everyone happy. Our wedding day went from extremely hot to a hurricane warning. (Our wedding was outside) Lou and his wife never complained and continued to serve people. They might have been soaked but they had awesome spirits and attitudes the whole time. We finally had room for them inside the barn and they were able to moved everything they needed in the barn and not miss a step in serving everyone. We couldn't be more pleased with their services and will definitely be recommending them to everyone we know!
